We are a family of six. Two parents and four kids. "J" is 12, She is super creative and artsy. "T" is 10 and our little jokester. He's always cracking us up. "I" is 8 and he is our wild man, full of energy and as smart as a whip, and little Sweet Pea is 6. She is our spirited one, a very independent girl.

A cry for Help!

I have a dilemma... My children are missing something.... It's called Literature! haha! Seriously though, it's that time of year again where I go crazy trying to figure out what the heck I am going to teach them next year. "I" is going to be in Grade ONE this coming fall! He's breezing through his kindergarten year. He's already reading small books and doing addition and subtraction like a pro.

This year I am taking a more classical approach to their language arts and history programs. In order to do this, I need to get my hands on some classic books. I would love to own these books so that I don't have to scramble around looking for them for the upcoming kids. So I created a book list, researched them all online for prices and found that some of them I can't even buy anymore. The ones that I can buy will get pretty expensive if I have to buy them all new.

So then I had an idea... what if some of my lovely friends and families had some of these books just laying around not being used? What if those said friends and family members would love to get rid of those books for a small price. I am going to put my book list out there and hope that someone somewhere has at least a few of them and is willing to let me take them off their hands. I will try to link as many of the books to Chapters or Amazon as I can so that you can see which versions I need. Keep in mind that these books are going to be read to a 6, 8 and 11 year old so the versions that I need have to be adapted for those ages. Here goes!!
